Flash memory and PCMCIA flash card file management commands
2
For example, if you want to display a directory of files in flash memory and flash memory has the
current management focus, you do not need to specify the flash keyword. However, if you want to
display a directory of files for slot 1 and flash memory has the current focus, you must specify the
slot1 keyword.
Flash memory file system
The flash memory file system is flat, which means that it does not support subdirectories. As a
result, you cannot create or delete subdirectories in this file system using the md or mkdir and rd or
rmdir commands, respectively. Also, when specifying the syntax for the various file management
commands, you will not need to specify a pathname to a subdirectory because it is not possible for
a subdirectory to exist.
File naming conventions
A file name in the flash memory file system can be a maximum of 31 characters. File name are
case sensitive. The flash memory file system does not accept spaces as part of a file name.
The following characters are valid in file names:
• All upper and lowercase letters
• All digits
• Any of the following special characters:
• $
• %
• '
• -
• _
• @
• ~
• `
